Boys tees just keep getting cooler
As a mom of a boy, I know how challenging it can be to find cool shirts that aren't drenched in licensed characters. Sure, I love super heroes as much as the next person, but even spider man wears real clothes when he's off duty.


So, I'm so glad I was introduced to the Dogwood boy's t-shirts, many of which are found at hip boutique and past CMP fave Little Urbanites. The Ford Mustang tee (pictured) is definitely a stand-out, but I'm also digging the Baseball shirt, which is a nice change from the official team shirts and jerseys that seem a little more geared for say, a day at the ballpark.

While these are priced higher than your typical Chinese-made mass market generic boy's t-shirts at your local Giganta-Mart, I've found that you definitely get what you pay for --a shirt that not only looks cool, won't be trashed after a few days at camp or running around the neighborhood with friends. And I know you moms of boys know exactly what I mean. -Kristen

You can find the Dogwood boy's tees along with all sorts of coolness at Little Urbanites. And Cool Mom Picks readers can use discount code coolmom15 for 15% off your purchase through 7/18/10 - excludes strollers and furniture.
